Here's a pair that you either love, or love to hate. These are pebble grain leather, leather soles, a full Florsheim Shoe:

Heading to South Carolina for graduation. I'll post more when we get back. Issh, take it from FlyfishFreud, you need to get outta the office more! Next week, I'll post a strap sandal just for you. In the mean time, stick with the 101 proof!

White leather seems to get a bad rap in most circles. Maybe it's the Florida retiree thing. I wonder if the pebble grain would have a mitigating effect...

I was considering these pebble grain wingtips by Peal, though they sold out my size during my deliberation. :(

I'm not a big vintage shoe fan, but I have a collection of over 20 pairs of John Fluevog boots and shoes. When I figure out posting a pic, I'll post a pic of some of them.

When it comes to white shoes, pebble and suede are the way to go. The texture kind of gives the white a finite depth. Plus, grain leather doesn't show blemishes and stains as well as smooth leather, which highlights it.

Down Under it was the chosen attire of Gold Coast property developers who were subsequently renamed "The White Shoe Brigade" which became the generalized buzzword for "spiv" in Australia.

Some thrift shop pick-ups. The Hartt's are some of the most solidly built shoes I've handled.

Similar to the two pairs of John McHales I got last semester in construction and style.

I DO like your style, friend. HOWEVER, I'm confused by your lack of love for these shoes. A pair of $13 cedar trees, a $6 leather conditioner & some Meltonian cream polish will do wonders for these. Those creases will mellow after 3 months in trees, if they're moisturized and polished. The "bones" are good, so take care of them, and they'll be wonderful.

Nice finds.
